Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Not getting hooked 900k for 4 years for Utoikamanu
is really a blessing in disguise when you take the
emotion out of it - we can shape a better squad now
Yep, 100%…I think many of us here, myself included, got emotional at the notion we might lose an up and coming prop like Stefano….for $900k, we can buy 2 very decent forwards…..the reality is Stefano has had an ordinary year for a tier 1 prop….it will be interesting to see his numbers next year…..look at Blore…started on fire down there only to become “average”as the season wore on….
 
Imagine I told you we had signed Stef, Bateman and Ipaps for next year. People would say we’re going to make the 8 for sure.

Instead everyone is trying to justify that Hunt, bird and horsborough are going to make us better next year

lol
Ha ha ha, my sentiments also.
Whoever we sign; they become world beaters. The theoretical reason they will turn things around; Our saviors!
We get to dream 'till Feb 2025.
Love this time of the year.

Has there been any suggestion Horsborough has signed on?
If he does i think he and hunt probably at a tick over what we were going to pay Stef isn't a bad outcome.

I wouldn't be surprised if Stefano goes on to a great career but we would be stupid to pay him $900k to stay here when he's not in the top ten props in the game. Many would say that's because we don't develop our forwards, but Pole, Seyfarth and two Fainus all look better than they did six months ago.

As for Blore, it's like casual viewers can only see the positives at first. He's no better or worse than last season. It's like Esan Marsters all over again.
